Abstract Concise Title

“HOMEOPATHY: COST & BENEFIT (A book for laics – 110 pages)

Background and objectives:

The author of the book intending to touch the limits between homeopathy and the conventional medicine, inevitably gets into a suspected terrain that represents a marshal of financial interests, and where only a few had enough courage to step in, perhaps for being afraid to become contaminated or swallowed by this financial whirlwind when punctuating the advantages and differences between these two medical sciences – such facts are of public knowledge and all data can be collected from the daily newspapers – those having the necessary courage can cross through such a marshal, coming to the other side without any contamination, but having the main purpose to show the shiny jewel which is the homeopathy, considering cost and benefit.

Proposals:

Low cost: a rapid, secure and efficient treatment for the first hours in active cases, and for the initial days in chronic cases. Logics: starting with the experiments on LSD by Hoffman. Philosophy: the homeopathy brings back the familiar doctor as a close friend, and the book also shows the philosophic conceptions of the great masters, such as “Psora, Sycosis and Syphilis”. Emotional: a treatment for each patient’s history. Psychiatry: introducing Hahnemann into the psychiatric history. Hospital treatment: internal patients being viewed as treated by homeopathy.
